Chapter 556: There Was No Way They Would Break So Easily
Ye Liu looked at Liu Duo and said with a smile, “Little Duo, Mo and I will also go with you.”
When Liu Duo heard him, she replied without even having to think, “No need. The two of you just do your own work. I only need Ling to accompany me.”
Ye Mo became very unhappy when he heard her give such a clear-cut answer. He kept repeating in his head, Unfair, unfair, unfair…
Although he felt she was being unfair, he wouldn’t feel jealous of his own youngest brother.
Not long after Liu Duo and the others started having breakfast, they heard the clatter of horse hooves coming from the yard door.
“Mr. and Mrs. Ye, good morning. Our master asked me to come to fetch Mrs. Ye to town.” The coachman parked the car and spoke while standing outside the yard door.
Ye Mo frowned when he heard him. He became very pissed off when he thought about Liu Duo spending almost an entire day with Dongfang Ming. He had even sent someone to fetch her so early in the morning!
Ye Liu, on the other hand, was smiling brightly. He greeted the coachman and asked him to come to sit inside.
“My friend, have you had breakfast yet? So sorry to have to trouble you to come to fetch our Little Duo so early in the morning.”
“Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your concern. I’ve already eaten.”
After they chatted for a while, Liu Duo and Ye Ling got on the horse carriage after they finished breakfast. Ye Liu, Ye Mo, and Li Wazi got on their bullock-cart and went to the other villages. Ye Yang still stayed at home and took care of the seedlings.
Inside the carriage, Liu Duo and Ye Ling sat on a soft couch that was decorated with jade.
However, Ye Ling sat nervously, as he was afraid he might break the jade if he moved around.
Liu Duo saw this so she grabbed his arm and said with a smile, “Ling, you don’t need to be so overly cautious. This jade won’t break so easily. Even if it broke, Mr. Dongfang wouldn’t ask us to pay for it.”
It wasn’t like they had asked him to send his horse carriage to fetch them. Even if they broke the jade, it was his own problem!
Moreover, each piece of the jade was at least five centimeters thick. There was no way they would break so easily. Though they might break if they were dropped on the ground.
“Okay. It’s just that I’ve never sat on something like this before so I’m not used to sitting on a soft couch that is decorated with jade.” Ye Ling nodded.
The horse carriage was much steadier when going to town compared to the bullock-cart…
Dongfang Ming’s hair was bound using a jade hat. He was sitting in the window of the third floor of the tailor shop and would look down from time to time.
As he held a cup of tea to his mouth, he suddenly saw his horse carriage from not too far away and it was slowly coming towards his direction.
The corner of Dongfang Ming’s mouth moved up and he drank the cup of tea in one gulp. He looked at each and every one of the movements of the horse carriage.
The coachman stopped the horse carriage at the tailor shop and Liu Duo and Ye Ling came out from the carriage one at a time.
“Ling, take it slow.” Liu Duo jumped down from the horse carriage straight away and then asked Ye Ling to come down using the stairs.
In response to this, Ye Ling laughed gently, “Duo Er, why did you jump down. What would happen if you fell down?”
“It’s fine. If I really fall down then Ling can help me massage and blow on my arms and legs.” Liu Duo held Ye Ling and then walked into the tailor shop with a smile on her face.
When the shop assistant saw them, she immediately came forward and greeted them. She then led them to the floor where Dongfang Ming’s room was located.
“Mrs. Ye, Ling, you guys are here. Just sit anywhere you want.” Dongfang Ming got up from his seat at the window. He then walked towards them and sat in a chair that was to the side.
Liu Duo and Ye Ling smiled towards him and then sat in the chairs opposite of him.
Liu Duo didn’t waste time talking about trivial things and jumped straight to the point. “Mr. Dongfang, did you prepare the required fruits and other materials?”
Dongfang Ming smiled slightly and said, “I’ve already prepared everything Mrs. Ye requested. However, you must be travel-worn. Why don’t you take a rest first since there’s no rush.”
